WASHINGTON - Donald Trump has no guiding principles and is unfit to be president, his former national security advisor John Bolton said in an interview released Thursday to promote his explosive book.
"I don't think he's fit for office. I don't think he has the competence to carry out the job," Bolton told ABC News.
In the book, excerpts of which were published by three newspapers Wednesday, Bolton alleged that Trump asked Chinese President Xi Jinping for re-election help, voiced support for Beijing's mass incarceration of Uighur Muslims and other minorities, and was widely ignorant of the world. "I think he was so focused on the re-election that longer-term considerations fell by the wayside," he added.
